The Board’s Role in Leveraging Human Capital

It is often observed that the only thing that two companies cannot have in common is the people working for them.  If people are key to sustainable value creation, what should Boards be doing to help their companies build a culture and the talent systems and processes that will enable them to attract, develop, engage and retain talent?
 
Please join the ICD GTA Chapter on February 9th, 2023 to tap into the wisdom and experience of a group of directors who serve on Boards’ talent/human capital committees from different industries and ownership structures.

• What talent and culture metrics should Boards be tracking and how do they align to overall business performance?
• How are inflation and a potential recession factoring into your oversight of talent?
•  How will your talent strategy evolve to address the type of talent that will be needed in the future and how work will get done?
• How to align corporate strategy – including ESG and stakeholder considerations – with the organization’s compensation practices?

 
Themes for the discussion will include:

•  How are Boards framing their discussions around talent and how much time are they investing in these discussions, including culture, succession planning, inclusion and diversity?
•  How do you define what is the Board’s vs Management’s responsibility in terms of talent and organization culture?
